Alongside the righteousness of spreading managed democracy, if there's one thing Helldivers 2 soldiers go to bat for, it's Eagle-1. Throw in the suggestion that the faceless community favorite might actually be an anime girl, though, and down-bad fans aren't just going to bat – they're standing between the NPC pilot and whatever harm might come their way with more vigor than ever before.
Stellar Blade demo release time – countdown to the PS5 action RPG preview is on
28.03.2024 - 17:49 / gamesradar.com / Iain Harris / Kim Hyung Tae
The Stellar Blade demo release time for the PS5 is nearly here, so the countdown is on for anyone wanting to try the action RPG before it releases in full next month.
As Shift Up director Kim Hyung Tae confirms on the PlayStation Blog, the demo begins at the very start of the game. You play as Eve, a member of the 7th Airborne Squad who is sent to Earth to help reclaim it from a foe called the Naytiba.
There's a tutorial phase to get you into the swing of basic combat as you poke around the post-war ruins of Eidos 7, a once-thriving city now overrun with enemies. The demo ends with a boss fight, so you'll see how well you've got the game down. In an early preview, we beat the Stellar Blade demo boss over 20 times, so the action RPG must be doing something right.
If that's enough to convince you to give this one a shot, here's when the Stellar Blade demo unlocks in your timezone on PS5.
The Stellar Blade demo release time is global, which is good news for plenty. We often see PS5 releases that line up to midnight or thereabout regardless of where you live. You can jump in at a decent time this time, though. If you're set to take time off for the Easter weekend, that's good news indeed.
As Stellar Blade's demo gets action RPG fans unglued, director says there isn't a photo mode but you can ask for one, which folks will surely be normal about.
